“Wynn, why did you come looking for me so suddenly?”
At the same time, Giada walked into the guest hall with a gentle smile on virtual-novel.net face. She stood in front of Wynn and obstructed virtual-novel.net view.
Giada looked like another woman compared to when virtual-novel.net was in the hall.
Wynn saw the two figures vaguely before they disappeared into the night and out of the manor.
“Aunt Giada,” said Wynn politely.
Giada grabbed virtual-novel.net arm and sat down on the sofa. She asked virtual-novel.net servants to prepare some desserts.
Over here, Philip and Tim had already exited the manor. Philip turned around suspiciously. He thought virtual-novel.net heard Wynn’s name being called just now.
He shook his head, opened the car door, and got in.
Back to Wynn. She was still feeling uneasy, especially when virtual-novel.net was facing Giada.
This woman was Philip’s stepmother, and Philip had some misunderstandings with her.
“Wynnie, come, freshly made desserts. It’s a specialty in the South River District.”
Giada smiled warmly as virtual-novel.net picked up a slice of green cake to hand it to Wynn with virtual-novel.net slender fingers.
Wynn nodded slightly and took it politely. She said, “You don’t have to trouble yourself with this, Aunt Giada.”
Giada lifted virtual-novel.net eyebrow and looked behind virtual-novel.net to dismiss the servants.
Giada and Wynn were the only people left in the guest hall now.
Giada was well-mannered and classy. She exuded confidence and arrogance. She looked at Wynn with a smile and asked after opening virtual-novel.net mouth, “Are you here so late in the night because of Philip?”
It was true that Wynn was starting to suspect him.
Giada squinted and looked at the nervous Wynn. She already had a plan.
“Aunt Giada.”
Wynn contemplated for a while and asked, “Philip told me that his family are restaurant owners. Is it really that simple?”
Wynn’s eyes were wide. She looked at Giada, anxious to know the answer.
“Correct.”
Giada smiled warmly. “Philip is right. We are indeed restaurant owners, but…”
Wynn was shocked. There was indeed something else.
“But the restaurant we own might be much grander than what you have in mind. As for why Philip refuses to tell you, maybe he’s worried that you won’t be able to accept this. The reason I’m in Riverdale now is to talk business and also to ask Philip to go back with me. Back then, virtual-novel.net fought with his father and ran away from home. His father has been feeling remorseful all these years. Now that his father is sick, virtual-novel.net doesn’t have much time. I hope you’ll help me talk to virtual-novel.net so that virtual-novel.net goes home to visit his father.”
Giada said flatly. Her tone was indifferent.
She wanted to force Philip to go back to break the boundary protocol that had been set for so many years. That way, virtual-novel.net could continue with virtual-novel.net plan.
Wynn heard that and shuddered. Her father-in-law was sick?
“Alright, I’ll talk to him.”
Wynn said while getting up, “Aunt Giada, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading home.”
Giada got up as well and said, “I’ll ask someone to send you home. If you have time, you can come anytime you want. Just treat this as your home.”
Wynn smiled and pushed virtual-novel.net hair behind virtual-novel.net ear. She said, “Aunt Giada, if you have time tomorrow, come have dinner at my place. I can arrange for Philip to talk to you.”
“Alright, thank you so much, Wynnie.”
Giada was smiling happily. She walked over and hugged Wynn. She looked like a benevolent mother.
Before virtual-novel.net left, Wynn asked, “Aunt Giada, this manor…”
Giada crossed virtual-novel.net arms across virtual-novel.net chest and looked at the huge manor. She said, “It’s bought with family money. It’ll belong to you and Philip in the future.”
Clank!
Wynn was stunned.
This manor was so extravagant, and it was bought by Philip’s family?!
How much did it cost?
‘Alright, Philip, you rascal. How dare you hide this from me?’
Wynn was slightly mad. She turned around to leave the manor. Then, virtual-novel.net drove the Mercedes-Benz back to the villa.
…
“Wynnie, where did you go?”
Philip had come back before Wynn. When virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net walk through the door, virtual-novel.net approached virtual-novel.net with a smile.
However, Wynn glared at virtual-novel.net coldly and pulled virtual-novel.net into the bedroom.
Slam!
The door was slammed shut.
Downstairs, Martha came out of virtual-novel.net room sneakily and tiptoed upstairs. She leaned against the door of their room to eavesdrop.
“Philip, do you know where I came back from?”
Wynn sat on the huge bed. She was fuming as virtual-novel.net asked with an icy expression on virtual-novel.net face.
Philip was confused and asked with a stupid grin, “Where?”
“Aunt Giada’s place.”
Wynn crossed virtual-novel.net arms across virtual-novel.net chest and looked at Philip heatedly. She was looking at the change in expression on his face.
Philip was shocked, but then, virtual-novel.net chuckled and asked, “Why did you go looking for virtual-novel.net all of a sudden?”
Oh no!
Why did Wynn go to Giada?
Was virtual-novel.net getting suspicious of him?
What did Giada say to Wynn?
Philip was beyond frantic.
